@paul_edwin I tend to shy away from the bigger ones but try to adopt a #JFDI attitude when I'm reminded of, or learn about, something that there's no reason not to enter. An email nudge from an event organiser or SI Entries forthcoming event listings will often be enough.

Combining short-trip data with #levelOfTrafficStress to identify areas that could shift the most trips onto bikes by investing in #protectedBikeLanes and other infrastructure #BikeTooter #trafficEngineering #bollards #climateAction #stuffInTheStreet #JFDI

"I should've planned for the king's birthday, I'll put it in my calendar." 🤣

London vs Paris cycleways, in a day! Is it a fair comparison without somebody from Paris doing it on mayor Hidalgo's birthday or something? #transit #urbanism #LegalizeBikes #BikeTooter #jfdi #ProtectedBikeLanes #tacticalUrbanism #TheWarOnCars #climateAction

Another lovely day in the #Altnet #Altnets office. Somehow avoided the rain.

#VisonZero plans will continue to fail to improve per-mile or per-population, or whatever metric, until policy / "Engineering" manuals default to remove car-only lanes and reduce car speeds in response to the problem of too many cars moving too fast without adequate infrastructure. There will never be ENOUGH infrastructure for all cars to always go as fast as possible. The only achievable answer is to say ENOUGH to cars. #BanCars #FuckCars #LegalizeBikes #BusLanes #JFDI

“Let’s just try some cheap stuff and see if it works,” 🎉 finally #tacticalUrbanism has entered the [city council] chat #VisionZero #stuffInTheStreet #JFDI

I cannot stand having all these loose ends. I'm just going to stub everything. A scene with just a "Start" button. An opponent AI that always skips its turn. A dealer that always returns the same card. Whatever. #JFDI

@arnodegroote @ssamulczyk 'Be bold, start cold' … as in once you're moving you likely need less layers than you think. And #JFDI! You can't feel smug about getting out for a ride until you've done it. :-)

Meanwhile, designating the outside lanes of this and our other four/five-lane #stroads (high-crash corridors) as bus+turn-only would help mitigate many of the problems by reducing the speed and proximity of car traffic to the bike lanes. #BusLanes #JFDI #ClimateActionNow

Sandy Blvd needs #BusLanes for the full length, yesterday. #NoMoreFourLaneRoads #VisionZero #ClimateAction #JFDI

people keep literally saying exactly how to transform your city urgently and without a lot of money but mayors and traffic Engineers just roll up the windows and stare straight ahead at a red light. #ClimateAction #Transportation #InducedDemand #TacticalUrbanism #JFDI

This video constantly has people on bikes going by in the background because they made a NETWORK of low-stress connected bike lanes, with space and existing pavement that was not efficiently used by cars. It goes where you want to go without having to elbow your way into car traffic... for short trips, why wouldn't you bike? #ClimateAction #CarsRuinCities #BikewayNetwork #BanCars #CarsStink #GeometryHatesCars #TacticalUrbanism #PublicSpace #Bollards #FuckCars #JFDI

@Maker_of_Things@strangeobject.space @makershour A5 Ha! See answer A4 - #jfdi - no matter what it is, your competence level, your previous experience, learn enough to be safe, then just have a go :)

Also find a nice bunch who don't mind you asking questions.

Now if only there was some kind of regular time in the week where you could be guaranteed to find such people online...

#MakersHour

@Maker_of_Things@strangeobject.space @makershour A4 Oh, not sure... not really thought about it tbh...

I guess many makers, well, just are...?

I suppose maybe there is some kind of #jfdi attitude at work or something...

#MakersHour

Years ago, @vmbrasseur gave a talk at OSCON/osbridge about the importance of failure, as a way to learn, as a key to innovation, about how failure needs to happen or you become averse to change. I haven't really thought about how using that wisdom in my software experience has shaped my opinion about how cities should do public works & planning, #transportation, #zoning, #tacticalUrbanism, etc until this #StrongTowns video. Prototype, test, measure, don't guess. #JFDI

Between the wood smoke, exhaust of cold car engines climbing a hill, and the complete policy failure of our #transportation system's status-quo, older generations are really sticking it to the kids. Career DOT people can't figure out why we wouldn't want to give them $4B for finishing their project designs from the 1950s (to use Portland as an example) just shut it down. #GlobalWarming #Pollution #PublicHealth #BanCars #BikeBus #SchoolStreets #SafeRoutesToSchool #PredatoryDelay #JFDI
